    While we were on holiday our wheelbarrow filled with rainwater. It had a sort of ramp up to it where a piece of cardboard had fallen. We have seen our resident frog(s) a few times of late in the borders, despite the fact we don't have a pond.
    Today we noticed (what looks like) tiny tadpoles swimming round in there, followed by a frog popping his head up to say hello! However, surely it's too late for tadpoles? The wheelbarrow is in a small alleyway sheltered by the garage and another wall. Gets some sun in the afternoon.
    Will post a picture tomorrow if anyone is interested? Any advice appreciated as to what to do. We've kept the ramp so mister frog can get up and down. :)

    Blimey, that is a bit late. You sure they're tadpoles and not Mosquito larva? Frog might have been feeding on them.

        Thanks all. No sign of mr frog today so decided to tip it out as I'm allergic to mosquito bites.
